Following graduation from Bucknell University, Samantha joined the Sehgal Lab to work under Dr. Amita Sehgal in various projects studying sleep and circadian rhythms. Li, Fu Post-Doctoral Fellow
Amita Sehgal wants to understand the molecular and cellular networks that drive rhythmic behaviors such as sleep. Sehgal and her team work primarily in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, but also translate their findings to mammalian models, especially mice.
Jun 8, 2024 · Dr. Amita Sehgal is the John Herr Musser Professor of Neuroscience at University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. Sehgal's major goal is to understand the molecular and cellular basis of behavior.
Amita Sehgal is a neuroscientist known for her work on circadian rhythms and sleep. She delineated molecular mechanisms of the circadian clock, identified pathways that connect clocks to behavior and physiology and developed a Drosophila model for the study of sleep.
In recognition of the contributions made by Dr. Amita Sehgal, I strongly recommend her for the nomination of SBIR Pioneer award. As a scientist and innovator, Dr. Sehgal has pioneered basic science discoveries that are transformative breakthroughs in the field of circadian rhythm and sleep.
